"Heaven Is For Real"

Heaven Is For Real

My fate past death and judgment of my soul
stirs up deep thoughts more often as I age.
Will promises beyond life's final stage,
well-shaped by faith, grant Heaven as my goal?

I dream I died- the darkness is so still-
but suddenly swirls into beams aglow
that sweeps me up on rays of boundless flow
into the mist of God's almighty Will.

With Him, I feel dear loved ones and their glee
embrace my soul, and with no voice- appear
to speak in silence, sensing my replies-
as angel spirits too, now welcome me.
I wake at peace with closure to my fear.
With God, I'll be, as my strong faith implies.

These thoughts do present themselves more as we age and draw nearer to that final portal. I found myself resonating with so much of what you wrote; the joy of being in God's presence, being welcomed by angels, and reuniting with loved ones. I feel this deserved a placement in the contest, nevertheless I was very pleased to read it tonight ~ John

John, thank you so much for visiting my poem and leaving your very uplifting comment. I did not enter this poem in Craig's contest, I only wrote it has an exercise, but then decided to post it yesterday for Brian Strand's contest. I am very pleased that you could identify with my thoughts. Sandra
